We have been deeply moved by the response to this project.

Through music, videos, photos and live actors, “SANCTUARY STORIES: A JOURNALISM THEATER PROJECT” captures in words and images the lives and communities touched by the immigration crackdown in Chicago. 

This “living documentary” is a unique and unprecedented adventure in multimedia storytelling that brings journalism to life. The stories presented by the actors are based on extensive reporting and told verbatim from interview transcripts. And they are presented with vivid documentary video and sound, illustrating the thoughts and storytelling, and showing the Chicagoans behind the stories.

After a sold-out run at Windy City Playhouse, we are currently developing new opportunities to share these stories with you. Stay tuned!
